1 Claim. 1

The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in gastorches adapted for operation by a source of either natural orartificial gas and has for its primary object to provide a device ofthis character which may be easily and conveniently attached to a-conventional gas stove by removing the burner thereof, or to a gas hoseor any other convenient outlet in the home or Work-shop.

An important object of the present invention is to provide a gas torchof this character of simple and practical construction, which is elclentand reliable in use, relatively inexpensive to manufacture and otherwisewell adapted for the purposes for which the same is intended.

Other objects and advantages reside in the details of construction andoperation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, wherein likenumerals refer to like parts throughout, and in which- Figure l is aside elevational view.

Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional View, and

Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view taken substantially on a line3-3 of Figure 1,

Referring now to the drawings in detail wherein for the purpose ofillustration I have disclosed a preferred embodiment of the invention,the numeral 5 designates a coupling having a threaded end 6 adapted forthreaded engagement with the burner connection of a feed pipe of a gasstove (not shown), the coupling also being formed inwardly of itsthreaded end with spiral tibs I by means of which a gas hose may beattached thereto. The other end of the coupling is formed with anenlargement 8 having at sides adapted for engagement by a wrench toapply or remove the coupling, the enlargement being internally threadedfor threadedly receiving an extension 9 on a nut IIJ, the nut also beinginternally threaded for threadedly receiving one end of a tube II, thetube being externally threaded for threaded engagement with one end of aconventional form of hickey I2 having open sides. The tube I I isadjusted by means of a ange I 3 having attened sides for receiving awrench.

A nipple I4 is threaded in the outer end of the tube II and is formedwith a restricted orifice I5 from which gas is discharged for mixingwith air entering the open sides of the hickey.

Threadedly attached to the other end of the hickey I'2 is a tube I6having a burner head indicated generally at il suitably secured at itsupper end. The head Il includes a tubular portion I8 externally threadedat each end for threaded engagement with inner and outer caps I9 and 20,the cap I9 being secured to the tube I6 and the cap 20 having a burneropening 2I therein. The caps I9 and 2D are formed with circumferentiallyspaced ribs on the outer surfaces thereof to facilitate the threadingengagement thereof with the tube I8. The tube I8 is formed with aplurality of vent openings 23 in the sides thereof and the tube is alsoformed on its outer surfaces with circumferentially spaced ribs 24,

It is believed that the details of construction and manner of use of thedevice Will be readily understood from the foregoing without furtherdetailed explanation.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim is:

In a gas torch, a tube, means attached to one end of the tube andadapted for supplying air and gas thereto in a mixture, and a burnerhead on the other end of the tube comprising a tubular portion larger indiameter than said tube and into which said other end of the tubeextends part way in spaced detached relation thereto, and end caps onsaid portion one of which is tted tightly around and secured to the tubeand closes the bottom of said head, the other cap having a singlecentral burner opening therein concentric to said portion.
